Hi everyone

A couple of weeks ago you all kindly helped diagnose a problem with my electric windows as the BCU.
I sent this off to a company for a replacement that should plug in and just work.
Well I have plugged it in and and my electric windows work the car starts no problem but the first thing that happened when I started the engine was the 3 amigos came up. I have not had them on the car before and I know the previous owner showed me a receipt for an ABS pump just before I bought it.
I have no idea if the BCU is even involved with these three lights but I thought I would hop on here and ask for advice. The vehicle has not moved in weeks and it did not move when these three popped up.
I didnt want to bother the people who did the BCU for me until I know it might be an issue.
Any suggestions on what it might be if not the BCU would also be much appreciated.

Thanks Again
 
Hi, I think you'll find it's the SLABs that's involved with the ABS. Have you tried driving it and see if they re-set? If not the usual cause is a faulty wheel bearing causing false readings and setting our friends alight.
Where abouts are you in the country? May be someone near with diagnostics that can help.

Hi, quite unikely that the BCU to be the cause of 3 amigos, are you sure you didnt disturb a connector of the SLABS ECU when you replaced the BCU cos as you saw they are near each other there. Anyway you'll have to read the fault code if they persist there's no other way around
 
Hi everyone, thanks for your responses. I have checked all of the connections incase I had disturbed something and taken it for a drive and they have all gone away. fingers crossed I had just disturbed something!
